I am not new to Linux. I am not a programmer but I can figure things out most of the time. I successfully installed Linux in the past on 3 computers, on two of them Linux was running parallel to Windows. I needed to do some tweaking, but not like this time. I am busy for almost two weeks now. Virtually nothing is working out of the box. I am a bit fed up with it. It seems Eee PC 1015BX hardware is not supported at all in Mint. I already tried to install Mint 9, Mint 11, 12, 13 and came back to Mint 14. The same problems in every version.

Anyway, please help me to proceed. What do I need to install and how? My external wired keyboard also does not work. I assume it is also a part of no graphic card driver problem or whatever it is.

My problems is that before you get a right answer you need to ask a right question. But if nothing is present in the system I dont know where to start and what is missing.

I had a problem of no boot when starting up the computer (it was a recurring problem with all operating systems I installed). The screen will light up (but still stay black) and a horizontal cursor will pop up, but no boot will start. The computer will freeze like this forever. I needed to hard reboot it and try to boot from the installation USB, then reboot in a normal way, and most of the time the boot will start. Sometimes I needed to unplug the power cable, remove the battery, press the start button for 30 sec to discharge static electricity, then plug the power cable again and the boot will start. It was lasting for 2 weeks until I can across a post at the link:http://peppermintos.net/viewtopic.php?f ... a&start=10
